Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Justin was a 35-year-old man with eyes that sparkled with a sly intelligence and a face that was almost always graced with a smile, earning him the nickname "Smiling Fox." Despite his ever-present grin, Justin was a man of deep strategy and thought.

When Hattie posed a question to him, he replied with a calm smile, "Mrs. Hattie, this lady bears a striking resemblance to you. Though I'm not privy to the nature of your relationship, it's clear as day when you stand together-she's your daughter."

Hattie's face lit up with a smile, hearing someone say that Josefina looked like her was music to her ears. "Justin, you have quite the eye. Indeed, she's my daughter, Josefina."

Josefina gave a subtle nod, "Nice meeting you, Justin."

Josefina turned to Hattie, "Mom, you go ahead with your meeting with Justin. I'll wait for you in the lounge."

"Josie, I'll have my assistant take you around," Hattie responded.

Hattie called over her assistant Hugh and instructed, "Hugh, take my daughter around. If you find a suitable project, let her have a pick. Work on it a bit. I'll join you once I'm done here." Hugh, though taken aback, maintained his composure, "Certainly."
